Doctor Who began as a simple show meant to trick kids into learning a little bit of history, think about some science and ponder the technology to come. Over the next 60 years it has progressed to a thoughtfully written program with deep character development and wide ranging story arcs. Fast forward to this season and we have obvious foreshadowing, blatant pandering and no character growth. Maybe, just maybe "Can you hear me" will be the dartboard hit that gives us hope.
